Never one to miss a trick, EJ's menswear entrepreneur Eamon Cunningham is seizing the chance to open a new fashion store for the women of Sligo.

Called 'EJ's Little Sister', the new store, which is due to open on September 21st, will offer the biggest and most popular on-trend styles and names in women's fashion in the premises left vacant since Gerry Maguire's closed earlier this year, just a few doors up from its flagship men's store in the centre of town.

As well as eventually creating up to 10 new jobs for Sligo, the opening of 'EJ's Little Sister' will fill a gap in Sligo's retail offering with a range of quality brands that are currently not available in Sligo such as Superdry; Tommy Hilfiger; Calvin Klein; G-Star; Guess; Salsa and Freddy.

EJ Menswear's Tommy Clarke said: "This has been in the pipeline for a number of years and is the natural next step for us. Women currently make up a large percentage of ej menswear customers and it is now time to provide them with the same quality and top brands in ladieswear."
